When the demand is greater than the supply, some consumers can be put into queues. Since consumers can differ significantly in the urgency of their requests, important social costs may be involved if adequate procedures are not designed to favor the individuals whose requests are the most urgent.","PeriodicalId":294588,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the December 9-11, 1968, fall joint computer conference, part I","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121999668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has two components: the MPL/1 language in which the processor specifications are written, and the translator which effects the translation of MPL/1 processor specifications into executable code. We emphasize processor writing system since the target programs produced by the system may do a variety of things, of which compilation is only a special case. There are numerous problems in linguistic analysis, artificial intelligence, data base conversion, and so on, where syntactic analysis and complex programs executed as semantic actions are deeply intertwined. The tasks to be performed usually require the availability of character and bit manipulation, file handing and list processing facilities. Two examples from the authors' field of interest follow.","PeriodicalId":294588,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the December 9-11, 1968, fall joint computer conference, part I","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122106442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Read-only memories which operate near 0.1 microseconds are available, while large-scale integration (LSI) offers the promise of inexpensive, batch fabricated processing of logic and storage elements. The problem which confronts the computer designer is how to use these elements in an efficient manner to take full advantage of their speed and flexibility. Many approaches have been proposed, but none have shown a clear solution to the problem.

Considerable effort has already been made in developing systems for the editing and publishing of text. Early work resulted in the formulation of algorithms for hyphenation and justification, followed by systems for page composition and correction of text stored internally within the computer system. Initially, the output function of these systems was to control a conventional hot-lead typesetting device. More recently, systems have been designed to control the formation of images on the face of a cathode ray tube (CRT). An image thus displayed is captured by a camera aimed at the CRT, and the resulting film is used to produce plates or mats for off-line volume printing. Systems of this type have been successfully implemented and are in full operation, as for example the MACE (Machine-Aided Composing and Editing) system in use at Bell Telephone Laboratories, and the PAGE1 (Page Generation) system developed by the RCA Graphic Systems Division.","PeriodicalId":294588,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the December 9-11, 1968, fall joint computer conference, part I","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134424616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Computer graphics has followed the trends of computing in general, where remote access, time sharing, and multiprogramming have become the key phrases. The problems involved in providing a remotely accessed, interactive computer graphics system are more formidable than for a dedicated system, or even than for a local time shared system. The requirement is basically to obtain a real time response for the display console operator, while at the same time minimizing the overhead imposed on the central computer facilities. Also present, of course, are the classic graphical problems such as that of providing refresh data for cathode ray tube displays, and of relating the appearances of a picture on the tube face to its description in the data structure.","PeriodicalId":294588,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the December 9-11, 1968, fall joint computer conference, part I","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133406984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
